Embracing pink in Addictive Eaters Anonymous

Living life in colour: A new way of living in Addictive Eaters Anonymous

At the height of my addictive eating, at my grossest weight, I could not stand the colour pink. I felt repulsed wearing pink because it highlighted and illuminated my heavy set body.

Today I woke early in the morning, dressed in the dark and came downstairs to call my sponsor. After receiving an engaged signal, I went to the bathroom and saw that my slippers and bed socks were pink. My dressing gown is one hairy, fluffy, pink hooded coat. My glove body scrubs are pink and my bath towel is pink.

Apple tree

Rosemary from Woodend

Mature tree. Blush Babe from Waimea nursery is a dwarf variety. A new plant is $70. I'd like $50 for this tree that is about 7 years old.
